curator's manifesto

As announced at the first NEXT programme in 2009, every other year ARCH MOSCOW is devoted to young architects and designers. In the two years between exhibitions, new names have come up, others have lost their freshness and have disappeared, and some of the 2009 participants have already become established architects. Anyway, it is clear that the NEXT is all about names: about the architect’s personality as a brand, and about architecture as a reflection of the authors’ personal development and identity. In the exhibition New Names, 24 young architects will present themselves to the public and compete for Russia’s most prestigious prize for young architects: the Avantgarde Award. The newest names are those of the best architecture school graduates from the last two years, who will show their diploma projects. The foreign contributions will also focus on new names: seven young architects from seven countries will be invited to show their work in the context of their personal development: study and diploma projects, designs for competitions and first realizations. Architecture schools, being the cradles where new talents are nursed, are being invited to present the work of their students, stimulating a discussion on architectural education. Finally old names, so important as a reference point for aspiring architects, are represented by Vladimir Plotkin – having been elected architect of the year in 2010, he has been invited to make a large personal exhibition.
